Can Jam!

Worst before photo ever.
After painting Dueselhouse, there was a moment of "wow, great idea!" It was Memorial Day Weekend, and everything in Virginia which was labeled "green" was tax free. Low flow toilets are green, and the bathroom in Dueselhouse wasn't sporting a very spectacular throne.

A one piece micro-seat wasn't very great to perch upon, and with taxes set aside for the weekend, I decided that it was time to make a change.

New wax ring
 Glacier bay makes a good looking can that my parents have at their place on Cape Cod. Dual flush, extra tall, and the deep oval make this bathroom addition very accommodating. My dad helped with the installation, and I must say that aside from having to think about what goes through the drain as you clean out the old wax ring, it wasn't a difficult installation - though it was good to have the insight and experience to help me through it all.

Economically speaking, water doesn't cost a whole lot, but there's piece of mind having a positive impact on the amount of water used. This, roughly hundred dollar upgrade, was probably as awesome as painting the upstairs bathroom - not necessary, but really great return on the enjoyability of the user experience.
Katie didn't like having a toilet in the living room. Odd.

Progress

Finished! All told, 25 minutes elapsed.

Step up, sit down, and consider the goodness.
